which humans to go with

i currently have a mono white human deck that I want to upgrade into a multi colored human deck. I'm considering R/W, G/W, and Naya humans. MY meta is pretty varied, a lot of the top players (ussually the top 4 people) have multiple decks that they play, but i generally notice a fair amount of U/W control, mono black beatdown/Zombies, Pod variants, and some esper decks. I have not really encountered very many Delver and R/G aggro decks (all 3 of my delver sightings in one night, so they are there somewhere im sure.). There's bound to be decks I havn't seen as I have not played everyone.
So I'm wondering which kind of human deck would function best in this kind of a meta. I like the look of G/W and Naya humans, and I have a lot of the cards necessary for those two, so I wouldn't have to get too many cards. Lemme know what you guys think.
Although it sounds fun, I'd prefer to stay within the bounds of R,G and W as I have a lot more of the cards to shift towards one of those types of human decks, I also forgot to mention as well, that I only have 1 Sword of Body and Mind and have no intention of grabbing more swords, since that seems relevant to the type of human deck i might benefit most from (R/W seems more reliant on swords).

Starlight Mints Check it out. It's been fun as hell to play.

R/W looks pretty fun. I'd like to know how it fares against control decks and delver decks, and maybe also R/G/W pod. and I question the power of the deck if i don't run any Hero of Bladehold , because i have none and they are too expensive for only 3 months of use.

Kruin Striker goes well with Thatcher Revolt and Gather the Townsfolk .
Going with green gives you Champion of Lambholt , Diregraf Escort (if zombies are a threat in your meta), Elder of Laurels , Hamlet Captain , Kessig Cagebreakers , and for course Mayor of Avabruck Flip . Plus card:Avacyn's Pilgrim, Somberwald Sage and Scorned Villager Flip for mana ramp.
And of course both gives you access to Huntmaster of the Fells Flip and Immerwolf if you want to go with a Human/Werewolf flavor.

yea no hero's would be ruff. That deck as listed has won on turn 4 numerous times. No hero's??.....i would probably put more tokens and MAYBE some intangible virtues. Once all the bosses from it rotate out that's probably the route I'll go....thinking with Ratchet Bomb rotating out...... token bonanza?

You could try out b/w humans. I'm running an exalted build on cockatrice with m13 stuff and it's super duper fun. Gets the beats out fast with more than just Gather the Townsfolk to get 3 damage with with Champion of the Parish on turn 2. I have a feeling Boros humans is also going to be pretty powerful once Sword of War and Peace rotates out.
